we had to start more with using technology and using streaming, for instance, which in one way was good during the pandemic time, but i think the magic of a live performance, being in the audience, sharing this with other people, it is impossible to transmit this in streaming. i still believe in the live performance, this energy, you have this ping pong between you and the audience, this is something magic. 0pera fans agree that nothing can replace the exhilaration of the live performance, and outdoor venues such as italy s arena in verona, are becoming more popular and widespread as a result of lockdowns. i think it s going to be a completely new thing for opera to be performed half indoors, half outdoors. a lot of venues are adapting and changing so there are outdoor venues where you sit in a huge arena, but there are lots of venues
